CHICAGO, July 29.-An Inter-Ocean
special from st. Ignace, Mich, says
James Connors, u lumberman, came
in from his camp, about forty miles up
the north shore of the lake and says a
man arrived at one of his camps on
Tuesday and wanted job of cooking
or some light work. Connors was
shown photograph of McGarigle and
is certain it is the picture of the man
who came to his camp. The supposi-
ton is that Blake anticipated being
searched, and put McGarigle ashore
before reaching there. Mr.. Connor is
a man Of intelligence and this clew will
be followed.

Through the straits.

CHICAGO, July 29.-The published
dispatches to-day stating that the
schooner Blake, on which McGarigle is
supposed to have fled, passed through
the straits OF Mackinaw were somewhat
of II surprise, but those in authority
were inclined to disbelieve them. The
sheriff said this evening that his last
advice from st. Ignice was that the
Blake had not been seen and he could
not reconcile the two statements, still
he would not say it was not true and
added, if she had slipped through, he
was afraid McGarigle would not be
seen very soon again.

The home boys showed that they
have not forgotten how to play ball,
by defeating the Sully combination
nine yesterday. The home team at
first played a strong fielding and bat
ting game, but after obtaining u
long lead, began to play with their
opponents, allowing them to score
several unearned runs. The battery
work Of McBroom and Fryer was
especially fine. In the sixth inning
Daniels went In to pitch and Gillis-
pie to catch, and proved themselves
a strong battery. McBroom carried
off the honors in batting, making
four hits, one of which was a home
run. During the game Mr.. Arnold,
of the Sully combination, split his
finger badly and was obliged to re-
tire from the game. Mr.. ID. SuIly
proved himself as funny on the dia-
mond as on the stage and kept the
audience in roar by his drolleries.
The fine playing of MeFarlen should
also be mentioned. After the sew
enth inning the game degenerated
into farce.

Conflicting Names of Battles

Frequent allusion has been made to
this subject, and it has been a prolific
cause of annoyance. For the benefit
OF readers we give General d. H. Hills
version, as found in the Century.
The conflict OF the 18th OF Septem-
Der, 1862, is called the battle Of
South Mountain at the North, and
the battle OF Boonsboro' at the South.
So many battlefelds Of the civil war
bear double names that we cannot be-
lieve the duplication has been accidcn-
tai. 1t is the unusual which impresses.
The troops of the North came
mainly from cities, towns, and vii
lagos, and were, Therefore, impressed
by some natural objects near the
scene of conflict, and named the bat
tie from it. The soldiers from the
south were chiefly from the country,
and were, therefore, impressed by
some artificial object near the field OF
action. In one section the naming has
been after the handiwork of God; in
the other section it has been after the
handiwork OF man. Thus the first
passage of arms is called the battle of
Bull Run at the north-the name of q
little stream. AT the south it takes
the name Manassas, from a railroad
station. The second battle on the
same ground is called the Second Bull
Run by the north, and the Second
Manassas by the south. Stones de.
feat is the battle OF Balls Bluff with
the Federals, and the battle of Lees
burg with the Confederates. The bat
tie called by General Grant Pitts
burgh Landing, natural object, was
named Shiloh, after church by its
antagonists. Rosecrans called his
first great battle with Bragg the bat
tie Of Stone River, while Bragg named
it after Murfreesboro, a village. So
McClellan's battle of Chickahominy, a
little river, was with Lee the battle
OF cold harbor, a tavern. The Feder-
ais speak OF the battle of Pea Ridge as
the Ozark range of mount tains, and
the Confederates call it after Elk
Horn. q country inn. The Union SOL
diers called the bloody battle three
days after South Mountain from the
little stream Antietam, and the south
ern troops named it after the village
OF Sharpsburg. Many Instances
might be given of this double naming
by the opposing forces.

A Romantic story.

We are indebted to a Georgfa paper
for this tale from real life: About two
years before the war, near pretty
and substantial residence close to q
prosperous little town, a beautiful
young girl, about ID, was sleeping in
hammock swung from two stately
oaks in q grove. She was pretty
picture OF innocence and grace and
won the admiration OF the passers-
by.
In a meadow to the rear, fat,
meek-eyed COW reclined in the shade,
Illuminating upon the food she had
gathered in the cool Of the morning.
But what has the COW to do with the
sleeping girl, is propounded. Wait
and see. ,@,
Across the road from the house, the
girl and the cow is a meadow, a branch
running through it, and coming up the
branch was a boy with q gun. When
within one hundred yards of the girl,
and about one hundred and City from
the COW, the boy fired at bird, which
few unhurt, but the COW received q pret-
ty strong dose OF shot. She immedi-
ately rosein fright, dashed through the
grove, caughtethe girl and hammock
on her horns, and rushed with cher
shrieking victim about the lot.
The terrified girl became silent, and
the crowd OF relatives and friends in
pursuit thought Mat she was dead.
The wild fury of the COW as she rushed
around soon tore tho naffirc lnnaoi
and the girl dropped unconsciouss to
the ground, unhurt. She was picked
up and taken into the houss, and on

Would Not Say "Damn."
from the Boeton Record

From the Boston Record.
There was established not very long
ago in a Maine town a weekly news
paper which was intended by the pro-
prietor, a very pious man, to grow up
and wax rich on the basis of publica-
ton and editing in the utmost fear OF
the Lord. No advertisements of any
plays, dances, lotteries, patent bitters
with alcohol in them, improved COR
sets, or anything doubtful whatever.
were to be admitted. Nothing that
was criminal, irreverent, or even a
little bit frisky was admitted to the
news columns. Above all the words
damn" which the proprietor found
WAS creeping into the press altogether
too markedly, was never to be printed.
Naturally the proprietor couldn't see
everything that went into the paper,
but the boys followed his orders very
strictly. One day he had occasion,
in an editorial which he himself wrote,
to use u classical reference, which
came out in the paper as follows: !:
1.-The President may, in tact, feel that
the sword of D-ocles is now hang:
ing over him. !.
This startled the proprietor
little, but he reflected that the
boys had only followed his orders,
and that it might break them all up
to find FAULT with them, and SO he said
nothing about it.
But q few weeks afterward he felt
that the thing was really being carried
too far when the text OF a discourse
which had been delivered by the village
pastor, and which he had ordered pub
lished in his paper, was printed at the
head of the sermon in this WISE.
"D-sel, say unto thee, arise!"
